Jefferson in Paris
Thomas Jefferson accepts the post of United States ambassador to pre-revolutionary France, despite the fact that his wife has recently died, though he finds it difficult to adjust to life in a country where the aristocracy subjugates an increasingly restless peasantry. In Paris, he falls in love with cultured artist Maria Cosway, but when his daughter returns from Virginia with her attractive slave, Sally Hemings, Jefferson's attentions are diverted.
